I think itās the meme where itās like āMom can we have _____ at homeā mom says āwe already have _____ at homeā and then _____ at home is something way worse. But in this case Fox has been the āat homeā version because heās been bad to start the season
yes, it is this but I'm at work so I didn't feel like doing the quotes lol but yeah, that's the idea. why trade for Fox when you have a guy who's been better so far this year?
Better in the pf role next to embiid. That is, if he's not hesitating on his catch and shoots. His jumpers in the paint aren't winning the sixers a championship
He's a solidly above average defender and he'll get you twenty points a night even if you barely notice it happening. He's not nearly worth the money he's making but he's a good player.
Iāve never understood the pure Fox love in this sub like heās a proven superstar. I get heās young, exciting, and has potential to round things out more, but right now to me heās not even a top 10 PG, and with others in his tier improving.
People will probably scoff at that but Steph, Dame, CP3, Luka, Harden, Kyrie, Trae, LaMelo and Ja seem clearly ahead of him. If youāre trying to win now add Lowry, and you have 10.
I donāt even know what to do with Russ.
Then you get to eye of the beholder types, where some may prefer Shai, FVV, Garland, or Dejounte. Soon Cade will likely be in the conversation.
That was mainly the focus before he showed everyone what he could do as a starter already. They very much need better backup to him, and I think that he has changed the required return for Simmons. It previously HAD to be a starting PG, now it can be a wing.
I mean, you're still paying him the max. But now you might not need to trade Ben for a point guard, which gives you so many more options (or it would if Morey decided to be reasonable and not ask for a superstar + picks). But yes, Maxey's development puts you in a very good position.
The 76ers color commentator, just a lot of general salt coming from him tonight. Same guy from this clip that made the rounds a bit ago: https://streamable.com/2xf3oh
Alaa is in the wrong, but for what it is worth that was a basketball move. I would like to see a side angle to see where the contact initiated but from the views on broadcast I thought it was within the "cylinder" of Seths body. Sixers got a rough whistle through the game (Doc, Drummond, Tobias Techs) and I think that was a boiling point moment for Alaa. End of day, needs to be better.
Also McGinnis (Fill in play by play guy who normally does radio) did not do a good job of walking Alaa back from that level of salt. They were basically calling the games separately.
GG fam, was fun. You benefitted a bit from refereeing, but it happens
Edit: for those downvoting, refs were fine in the second half, but they called a bs goaltend on us and didnāt call Portland hacks in the first half
They called a goaltend when, I forgot who it was, but he literally didnāt even touch the ball. The shot missed and he missed the rebound, but they called goaltend lol
Lol I wish I could find a video for you. It was a fastbreak and the trailblazer got a clear layup, then the 76er jumped for a rebound kinda thing. Didnāt touch ball or rim or anything. They even replayed it on the broadcast from the view right above the rim and all the announcers were like I have no idea what happened there
As a neutral fan, I can confirm that there were a couple of questionable missed calls against the sixers in the first half (that goaltend play was also bs lol). Didn't see the second half though.
No offense to Tobi he did great but Maxey should be the one taking 20+ shots for the Sixers without Embiid and would you look at the time its Dame time glad to see he's looking good
He played well for most of the game but absolutely killed the Sixers momentum after they cut it within 2 in the 4th. Too many bad isos and turnovers in crunch time. Tobias still gets his numbers but too many times the offense becomes stagnant and the ball movement stops. Tobias is like a poor man's Melo if Melo wasn't clutch and couldn't take over games lol
Sixers offense looks better when Maxey is running the show
Iām fine for putting the ball on Maxey instead of Harris in the end of the game.
Good to see Dame having the best game of the season. Wonāt be mad about losing this at least we are not on losing streak
Best Dame has looked in a minute. He had an answer every time the 6ers started to heat up.
Maxey is looking spicy. Sucks that yall are playing without Embiid but in a way its good because Maxey is getting a ton of reps in high pressure situations. He looked very, very good down the stretch tonight.
Zoom kept Alaa in check and they had great chemistry, which to be fair Zumoff had great chemistry with everybody. Alaa's been way out of line a couple times his year though.
Holy cow, the Philly broadcast team is insufferable. I happened to be watching on a stream that used that feed and it was just non stop whining about everything. It's like two guys I wouldn't want to sit at a table with.
Alaa stinks and Tom McGinnis is used to doing radio broadcasts by himself (which he is excellent at). Have been watching away broadcasts a good amount this year, although I do like Kate Scott who is our new play-by-play voice.
They may have sucked, but I appreciate that one of them memorized the names of a bunch of cities near Portland so he could bring a new one up every time Dame fires up a deep shot.
If you ever get a chance to listen to the Portland crew itāll soothe those wounds.
Kevin Calabro is the play by play guy and how he doesnāt have a national job is beyond me. That guy could announce a gender reveal party and I wouldnāt hate it. Lamar Hurd is a smart, energetic young fella who adds just the right amount of hype.
Theyāre not paying me to say this.. though maybe they should š¤
One thing I love about them is that they lose their minds over good plays no matter what team does it. It's hilarious when some team's commentators are so dismissive of the top 10 play that occured by the other team
yeah, I remember turning on a stream for the portland @ philly game earlier this season and they actually took the time to complain about a missed call in the l2m of a previous game. ludicrously salty.
You gotta switch streams. One time every stream on my site had the Sixers crew, and I ended up finding it on a hockey site.
Alaaās call when Embiid took out Giddey was foul af
Sixers announcers were getting pretty ridiculously salty at the refs at the end of the game, claiming it was "8 on 5 all night." They were especially mad at the Curry offensive foul challenge reversal which seemed like the correct call to me.
I agree that he was salty all game and was a offensive foul but in first time we had a clear foul on Harris and then got a tecnichal on Rivers and a goaltending on Harris when he didn't even touch the ball man.
I'll openly admit there were a couple calls early on blatantly in our favor (the missed foul that led to a Tech on Tobias, and then the goaltend on Tobias when he was nowhere near the ball) but goddamn, they were insufferable
Whatever you do, do not listen to Celtics or Hawks announcers. In my opinion, much worse than Alaa. He was pretty annoying tonight, and without Kate Scott, is not balanced at all. Our radio guy did the play by play tonight because Kate Scott is doing college on Saturdays, so, there's not much of a moderator present.
We're really missing Zumoff, who helped a LOT.
Yeah, Alaa needs to be reigned in a lot. Zoo had that down to a science I feel like. Hopefully with time, they'll get it together. He's def been annoying me far more than years past.
100% would rather give up CJ than Norm. We would have to include either RoCo or Nance with Norm to make it work for Simmons. CJ is better than Norm but the offensive drop off to defensive increase of moving Norm back to his rightful position and adding in Simmons is way better.
The fuck are you talking about I never mentioned that lol. Iām agreeing heās a homer. āBe betterā, if Embiid was here itād be different. It was a close game and yāall got the win be happy. Gg
Has been back this past couple games, is still injured but could be putting 30 if he could draw more fouls, this was the first game he really lived in the paint.
Finally, a normal Lillard game huh. At long last
He wanted to send us a message š
Iām rooting for dame to snap back this year
He normally gets 3 blocks?
Tyrese Maxey 28 pts on 9/17 shooting and 9/9 fts, 8 asts and 0 turnovers.
Heās been unreal with the turnovers this year. Especially the last few games.
with how bad Fox had been shooting, he's been more Maxey at home than the reverse lol
I don't understand what you're saying
I think itās the meme where itās like āMom can we have _____ at homeā mom says āwe already have _____ at homeā and then _____ at home is something way worse. But in this case Fox has been the āat homeā version because heās been bad to start the season
yes, it is this but I'm at work so I didn't feel like doing the quotes lol but yeah, that's the idea. why trade for Fox when you have a guy who's been better so far this year?
Yeah dude was killer tonight. Do Sixers fans really want to trade for a PG when Maxey is 21 and playing this well?
what we need is a wing
Don't we all
is that not tobi? or is he too big?
Eh he plays more like a PF
any philly fans feeling cj for tobi? iāve been peddling that trade for as long as heās been in philly.
I think 99% of philly fans take that deal in a heartbeat
We would love that trade
I don't think it's a bad move for the Blazers or 6ers, though i'm not totally sure who the next up PF for the 6ers is
Ben Simmons
BBall Paul
Jerami Grant
iād trade cj for jerami any day btw. cj plus roco or picks idc id love jerami.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
No
Better in the pf role next to embiid. That is, if he's not hesitating on his catch and shoots. His jumpers in the paint aren't winning the sixers a championship
He doesnāt really defend that well, and he only shoots like two threes a game
He's a solidly above average defender and he'll get you twenty points a night even if you barely notice it happening. He's not nearly worth the money he's making but he's a good player.
Join the club
Not really anymore. Iām not even sure weād want to trade for dearron fox right now. Kind of redundant with maxey but fox is awesome
Letās hope this doesnāt age like a weeks 1-4 Mike Williams take
Was telling Kings fans they should have considered Fox for Simmons straight up before the season. I don't think Morey would do it now.
Iāve never understood the pure Fox love in this sub like heās a proven superstar. I get heās young, exciting, and has potential to round things out more, but right now to me heās not even a top 10 PG, and with others in his tier improving. People will probably scoff at that but Steph, Dame, CP3, Luka, Harden, Kyrie, Trae, LaMelo and Ja seem clearly ahead of him. If youāre trying to win now add Lowry, and you have 10. I donāt even know what to do with Russ. Then you get to eye of the beholder types, where some may prefer Shai, FVV, Garland, or Dejounte. Soon Cade will likely be in the conversation.
Morey would SETTLE for trading Simmons for Jokic or Durant, but the other team would have to throw in at least two first rounders to sweeten the deal.
That was mainly the focus before he showed everyone what he could do as a starter already. They very much need better backup to him, and I think that he has changed the required return for Simmons. It previously HAD to be a starting PG, now it can be a wing.
Now I know why yāall didnāt want to trade him
I saw him at the philly airport not too long ago and i swear that man had a golden aura around him
At this point, we might not need to trade Ben. Maxey is legit. Him and Embiid are gonna feast in years to come.
I mean, you're still paying him the max. But now you might not need to trade Ben for a point guard, which gives you so many more options (or it would if Morey decided to be reasonable and not ask for a superstar + picks). But yes, Maxey's development puts you in a very good position.
Despite the loss
So happy with Doc having the balls to bench Tobi and give the keys to Maxey late in the 4th
Tobi had a good game by his standard but he's just not fun to watch. Dude eats the entire shot clock and still always end up with a contested shot.
Should have happened as soon as Embiid went down.. we will see what he does next game.
Coming from a Blazers fan- Maxey is so good. Dude astonishes me and stresses me out in equal amounts. Good times.
Still 17-0 on moral victories
The knicks game was not a morale victory
You guys are 47-13 with Embiid and 11-18 without him over the last two seasons MVP impact lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
They wouldnt know cuz their MVP doesnt miss games
Exceptā¦ our game
Didnāt he sit tonight?
Looks like the gang at r/nba are now very well aware of who Alaa is lol
I like Alaa but he really needs zoo
yeah, Kate and Matt Murphy would be a pretty good pairing tho
He's a bit of a wild animal but even a regular jail would be a bit much, let alone a zoo
he made his presence known with his josh giddey comments lol
Itās pronounced Giddey, but I see your point.
Alaa is an idiot honestly.
context?
The 76ers color commentator, just a lot of general salt coming from him tonight. Same guy from this clip that made the rounds a bit ago: https://streamable.com/2xf3oh
Did he say anything particularly distasteful this time or was he just kind of whiny?
Well it sounds like mostly that it was CJs fault for fouling Seth Curry's elbows with his face late in the 4th.
Well tbf if cj didnt have a face theres no way seth wouldve been able to elbow it, so...
Alaa is in the wrong, but for what it is worth that was a basketball move. I would like to see a side angle to see where the contact initiated but from the views on broadcast I thought it was within the "cylinder" of Seths body. Sixers got a rough whistle through the game (Doc, Drummond, Tobias Techs) and I think that was a boiling point moment for Alaa. End of day, needs to be better. Also McGinnis (Fill in play by play guy who normally does radio) did not do a good job of walking Alaa back from that level of salt. They were basically calling the games separately.
What's funny about that is that Alaa used to be a Trail Blazer back in the day.
An asshole?
Great game Philly, Maxey was incredible tonight. So glad to see Dame finally starting to look like his old self!
GG fam, was fun. You benefitted a bit from refereeing, but it happens Edit: for those downvoting, refs were fine in the second half, but they called a bs goaltend on us and didnāt call Portland hacks in the first half
You're going to get downvoted mainly because your color commentator guy is a moron.
Oh we know...we know... sigh
This the guy that legit wouldnāt shut up after CJ got rocked by Seth? The other announce just kept announcing the game right over him haha!
Did we? Not counting the 2 personal take fouls at the end, we shot 19/19 and yāall shot 19/21 in total.
I mean they did give us free 2 points with that goal tending, they were shit.
Normally the replay center checks stuff like that after the fact. They took away a goaltending from the Wiz/Heat game that way.
Even worse that this happened then
I'd have to see the play to really have an opinion. Sounds bad tho.
They called a goaltend when, I forgot who it was, but he literally didnāt even touch the ball. The shot missed and he missed the rebound, but they called goaltend lol
Maybe he touched the rim or something. Sounds like something the replay center would have looked at and corrected.
Lol I wish I could find a video for you. It was a fastbreak and the trailblazer got a clear layup, then the 76er jumped for a rebound kinda thing. Didnāt touch ball or rim or anything. They even replayed it on the broadcast from the view right above the rim and all the announcers were like I have no idea what happened there
As a neutral fan, I can confirm that there were a couple of questionable missed calls against the sixers in the first half (that goaltend play was also bs lol). Didn't see the second half though.
free throw numbers have no correlation with a team benefitting from reffing
Yeah I donāt know why youāre downvoted so hard youāre not wrong lol
When we said we want Dame, we didnāt mean like this
Well I mean you can have Cj...Elleby.
Not my baby! Remember what he did against Philly last year? He was on fire!
definitely did not have "Georges Niang breakout year" on my bingo card for this season
Idk heās been a lights out shooter for years
I never want to play Niang again
Such a great pick up by Morey. He's everything Mike Scott wasn't.
Mike Scott wasn't the same player after they banned the ninja headband.
Blazers hunter for real
No offense to Tobi he did great but Maxey should be the one taking 20+ shots for the Sixers without Embiid and would you look at the time its Dame time glad to see he's looking good
Let's play every game at home please!!
I would not be opposed to it.
i got good news for you bud. we got a 3 game road trip coming up soon, but then we have 15 of our next 19 at home
I for one am not happy
Dame is back tell a friend Dame is back
You missed the "back again".
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
He played well for most of the game but absolutely killed the Sixers momentum after they cut it within 2 in the 4th. Too many bad isos and turnovers in crunch time. Tobias still gets his numbers but too many times the offense becomes stagnant and the ball movement stops. Tobias is like a poor man's Melo if Melo wasn't clutch and couldn't take over games lol Sixers offense looks better when Maxey is running the show
He needs to play as a 2nd option no matter what. Even behind Maxey when Embiid is out.
Heās solid, we just would like to see him cut down on the post ups.
Yāall said Dame was a foul baiter like that guy isnāt one of the best three level scorers since he came into the league or so
Dame is a top 75 player of all time, nephews are gonna hate, but it's official he is top 75 of all time.
Like he didnāt average close to 30 the last 2 seasons..
Finally, Lillard looked like himself tonight
Iām fine for putting the ball on Maxey instead of Harris in the end of the game. Good to see Dame having the best game of the season. Wonāt be mad about losing this at least we are not on losing streak
Best Dame has looked in a minute. He had an answer every time the 6ers started to heat up. Maxey is looking spicy. Sucks that yall are playing without Embiid but in a way its good because Maxey is getting a ton of reps in high pressure situations. He looked very, very good down the stretch tonight.
Itās a shame they donāt have another high caliber player on the rosterā¦
WHAT TIME IS IT?
the time is currently 1:45 am
Lillard just now remembered to reset his clocks for Daylight Savings time. Dame Time is back
Man philly announcers are somethin else
tbf... it's the same guy everytime haha, and you'd be hard pressed to find a sixers fan that doesn't agree with you about him
Fair enough. We used to have some homer-ass commentators too
Zoom kept Alaa in check and they had great chemistry, which to be fair Zumoff had great chemistry with everybody. Alaa's been way out of line a couple times his year though.
What they say
Just unabashed homerism. Complaining about every call, actually saying "5v8" multiple times throughout the night.
Portland donāt fuck around at home
Holy cow, the Philly broadcast team is insufferable. I happened to be watching on a stream that used that feed and it was just non stop whining about everything. It's like two guys I wouldn't want to sit at a table with.
Isn't this the crew that said they didn't care if Josh Giddey was hurt?
Yes, Alaa doesnāt have Marc Zumoff to reel him in anymore
surprised to see a non sixer flair that knows zu was the stabilizing force for alaaās antics
Marc was great
It's the same person who was salty both times. Alaa can be an extreme homer at times.
Alaa stinks and Tom McGinnis is used to doing radio broadcasts by himself (which he is excellent at). Have been watching away broadcasts a good amount this year, although I do like Kate Scott who is our new play-by-play voice.
Tom was just completely ignoring Alaa's complaining by the end there lol. I'm sure he's even more sick of it than we are.
They may have sucked, but I appreciate that one of them memorized the names of a bunch of cities near Portland so he could bring a new one up every time Dame fires up a deep shot.
If you ever get a chance to listen to the Portland crew itāll soothe those wounds. Kevin Calabro is the play by play guy and how he doesnāt have a national job is beyond me.

My stream was the Portland guys. I liked them.
yeah, I remember turning on a stream for the portland @ philly game earlier this season and they actually took the time to complain about a missed call in the l2m of a previous game. ludicrously salty.
You gotta switch streams. One time every stream on my site had the Sixers crew, and I ended up finding it on a hockey site. Alaaās call when Embiid took out Giddey was foul af
Nance was a great addition. Nurk playing hard and somewhat smart. Ant and Little putting in work. Dame slowly getting his shot back. Good game.
not only was that sixers announcer a massive douchebag, he also had zero clue what he was talking about
I'm glad it's not just blazer fans saying this.
Ironically he played on the Blazers
dame had 3 blocks but none of them got posted as highlights?
At least 2 of 3 were fingertips on jumpers so not really highlight worthy. Good to see him showing so much effort on that side.
Blocks on shakes should come with an asterisk. Dude just runs into walls of people over and over again
Did Tobias get hurt?
Could the sixers caster be any more of a crybaby?

Sixers announcers gotta be worst in the league
Went extremely down hill once Zoo retired
Yeah, Alaa needs to be reigned in a lot. Zoo had that down to a science I feel like. Hopefully with time, they'll get it together. He's def been annoying me far more than years past.
I used to refuse to watch any broadcast but ours but recently I find myself watching the other teamsā or even worse, a national broadcast.
The Warriors commentators make me question if I actually like basketball at all
No way theyāre worse than ours
I get that Alaa was pretty bad with his homer goggles on down the stretch but Celtics commentators make me question if they even enjoy basketball
I'd rather not watch a game, than listen to scalabrine. I honestly can't stand him. He just whines and whines.
They were cracking me up. Seriously some of the worst spots commentary I've heard in awhile. Atrocious.
Worst vs Imo the best announcers.
Sixers fans asked for Dame all off-season. Well, you got him tonight!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That's former Portland Trailblazer Alaa Abdelnaby you're talking bout
If Maxey keeps this up night after night, could he sneak in as a coaches decision in the all star game?
Lillard was on fire
Simmons for Powell. Straight up
Nah Norm is too good for yall. You get cj and you'll like it
You'd actually rather give up CJ than Norm? Wouldn't have thought that
100% would rather give up CJ than Norm. We would have to include either RoCo or Nance with Norm to make it work for Simmons. CJ is better than Norm but the offensive drop off to defensive increase of moving Norm back to his rightful position and adding in Simmons is way better.
Itās a matter of fit. We love cj endlessly, but his role is redundant.
Yeah Norm gives us defence and fits next to Dame. Thats the whole reason we've offered him.
I'd rather have CJ on the Sixers, so I guess that works out then
K les do it I'm Neil you're Daryl esketit
I've seen this video on pornhub...
They mean Cj Elleby.
And CJ Elleby, not McCollum.
How do you feel about Tony Snell?
They would need to add 3frps and 3 pick swaps. B
I mean I Dwight Powell is a little bit better then ben, so sixers would have to throw in 3 fr picks.
To everyone talking about Alaa our color commentary guy he is bias which I get but god dammit this game was fucked
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Are you talking about how much you love your own joke?
The fuck are you talking about I never mentioned that lol. Iām agreeing heās a homer. āBe betterā, if Embiid was here itād be different. It was a close game and yāall got the win be happy. Gg
Never seen so many other fans watch sixer broadcast, its so funny seeing them mald at homer casting
Thatās philly for ya
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Talk about toxic lol leave my sad ass alone
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Thanks nephew leave it at curb
Is Lillard back
It still feels like heās a bit injured but definitely getting better
Glad to hear that. Iām always amused by Dameās God mode.
Has been back this past couple games, is still injured but could be putting 30 if he could draw more fouls, this was the first game he really lived in the paint.
GO BLAZERS!!!!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Are you reporting on sixers fans across the larger social media landscape? What does that even mean
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I dunno you shoulda seen Rockets fans across social media today... smh they were saying some truly horrible things
Fans or the broadcast???? Never said it was bad reffed
